Microsoft unveils Xbox One Media Remote

After a few days of rumors, Microsoft has officially unveiled the upcoming Xbox One Media Remote.

The remote will sell for $25, a small bump up from the Xbox 360's remote price and will go on sale in March.

Reads the release from Xbox head Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb:

Releasing across Xbox One markets worldwide in early March, the Xbox One Media Remote lets you control video playback for Blu-ray movies and streaming video on Xbox One. Additionally, there are dedicated Back and OneGuide buttons. The OneGuide button provides one-touch, quick access to your favorite TV shows and movies through the Xbox program guide. This remote is designed to help you listen, watch and switch among experiences instantly – allowing you to rule your entertainment. The Media Remote can also control TV/Receiver power and volume through Kinect, which uses IR blasting to send signals to your TV and/or receiver.
